New Champions

Introducing Swain, the Noxian Grand General

Jericho Swain, the visionary ruler of Noxus, leads an expansionist nation that reveres strength above all. Despite being cast down and crippled in the Ionian wars, he seized control of the empire with unwavering determination and a new, demonic hand. Swain now commands from the front lines, marching against an impending darkness that only he can perceive through the glimpses provided by his shadowy ravens. Amidst sacrifice and secrets, the greatest revelation is that the true enemy lies within.

Swain will be available for battle on May 26 at 00:01 UTC.

Ice Dragon

It's time to embrace the chill as the Ice Dragon makes its grand entrance! To learn more about the Ice Dragon and its gameplay mechanics, check out our dedicated article. Here's a quick summary of what this frosty beast brings to the battlefield:

Defeating the Ice Dragon grants Ability Haste.

If the Ice Dragon is the first dragon to spawn and be slain, the Elemental Rift transforms and spawns Icy Paths, granting movement speed.

Upon killing the Ice Dragon and triggering the map transformation, the Cryoblossom emerges. Hitting the Cryoblossom and striking an enemy will apply a stasis effect, freezing the enemy champion temporarily.

While frozen, the enemy champion becomes untargetable and immune to damage. Only enemy champions can be affected by this effect.

Wild Pass
